Qualstar introduces space-efficient AIT library

Posted on March 01, 1999

up to 46TB of data in less than 23 cubic feet (4-ft high by 2-ft wide). The library, which supports AIT-1 and AIT-2 drives and media, has a throughput of up to 670GB per hour when its 12 drive bays are in use. It also houses up to 360 AIT-1 (91GB compressed) or AIT-2 (130GB compressed) cartridges. A SCSI-2 interface provides connectivity to servers and workstations.

The library also features Qualstar?s lead-screw design and brushless motors and is equipped with a positive-pressure filtered air system to ensure proper cooling and to prevent media contamination. An optional onboard barcode scanner keeps tapes in order.
